      VDL ETG Projects has developed a first prototype series of a leaf-cutting robot to work in greenhouses. In this project, I was responsible for the design and implementation of the software for this robot. I was responsible for the software architecture, function implementation and testing of the robot. In this project I have used the Robot Operating System (ROS) to speed up the software development process and perform detailed simulations.
